In order to satisfy the tight emittance requirements of
LHC, a non-intercepting beam profile monitor is needed
in the SPS to follow the beam emittance evolution during
the acceleration cycle from 26 to 450 GeV. Beyond 300
GeV, the synchrotron light monitor can be used. To cover
the energy range from injection at 26 GeV to 300 GeV, a
monitor based on the luminescence of gas injected in the
vacuum chamber has been tested and has given
interesting results. This monitor could also be used in
LHC, where the same problem arises. Design and results
are presented for the SPS monitor.

A beam profile monitor, from DESY, based on the ionisation
of the rest gas, was installed in the SPS in 1997. Horizontal
beam profiles obtained from the extracted positive ions are
presented. It is known that in this case some broadening affects
the signal, which limits the monitor resolution. This broadening
results from the transverse momentum that the ions gain
within the space charge field of the circulating beam.
In order to improve the resolution for LHC applications, the
monitor was modified during the 1998/99 winter stop. A magnetic
focusing was incorporated. The aim is to analyse the signal
provided by collecting the electrons, rather than the ions,
of the ionised rest gas. The details of this new set-up and the
expectations for the resolution limit will be compared to the
measurement results.
